Aside from protecting your table from candle wax drippings and saucy spills, table runners are a great way to complement your favorite serveware. This design sports a gingham pattern in black and white that’s sure to pair well with ensembles from country-inspired to modern. Made in the USA, it’s crafted from polyester and can be tossed into the washing machine right after dinner for fuss-free upkeep. As a rule of thumb, runners should be around one-third the width of your table with six inches of overhang at each end.
